Chapter 21 Introduction to Plants
Section 1: Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Section 2: Nonvascular Plants
Section 3: Seedless Vascular Plants
Section 4: Vascular Seed Plants
When scientists compare present-day plants and algae, they find the following common characteristics:
21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Introduction to PlantsChapter 21
cell walls composed of cellulose cell division that includes the formation of
a cell plate the same type of chlorophyll used in
photosynthesis similar genes for ribosomal RNA food stored as starch the same types of enzymes in cellular vesicles
Cuticle
Introduction to Plants
Helps prevent the evaporation of water from plant tissues
Acts as a barrier to invading microorganisms
21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Chapter 21
Stomata
Introduction to Plants
Allows exchange of gases through the cuticle
Openings in the outer cell layer of leaves and some stems
21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Chapter 21
Vascular Tissues
Introduction to Plants
Vascular tissue enables faster movement of substances over greater distances.
Vascular tissue provides support and structure, so vascular plants can grow larger than nonvascular plants.
21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Chapter 21
Seeds
Introduction to Plants
A plant structure that contains an embryo, nutrients for the embryo, and is covered with a protective coat
These features enableseeds to survive harsh environmental conditions and then sprout when favorable conditions exist.
21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Chapter 21
Alternation of Generations
Introduction to Plants
Gametophyte generation produces gametes.
Sporophyte generation produces spores These can grow to form the next
gametophyte generation.
21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Chapter 21
During plant evolution, the trend was from dominant gametophytes to dominant sporophytes that contain vascular tissue.

Introduction to Plants
Non-Vascular Plants
Bryophyta
Anthocerophyta
Hepaticophyta
21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Chapter 21
Diversity of Nonvascular Plants Division Bryophyta
21.2 Nonvascular Plants
Introduction to Plants
Most familiar bryophytes are the mosses. Structures that are similar to leaves
Rhizoids
Carpet of mossLeafy stems
Chapter 21
Introduction to Plants
Water and other substances move throughout a moss by osmosis and diffusion.
21.2 Nonvascular Plants
Chapter 21
Produce rootlike, multicellular rhizoids that anchor them to soil or another surface
Division Anthocerophyta
Introduction to Plants
Anthocerophytes are called hornworts.
Water, nutrients, and other substances move in hornworts by osmosis and diffusion.
Hornwort
21.2 Nonvascular Plants
Chapter 21
Identifying Features
Introduction to Plants
One large chloroplast in each cell of the gametophyte and sporophyte
Spaces around cells are filled with mucilage, or slime.
Cyanobacteria grow in this slime.
21.2 Nonvascular Plants
Chapter 21
Division Hepaticophyta
Introduction to Plants
Hepaticophytes are referred to as liverworts.
Found in a variety of habitats
Water, nutrients, and other substances are transported by osmosis and diffusion.
21.2 Nonvascular Plants
Chapter 21
Most primitive of land plants
Introduction to Plants
Thallose liverwort
Leafy liverwort
21.2 Nonvascular Plants
Chapter 21
Introduction to Plants
Seedless Vascular Plants
Lycophytes
Pterophytes
21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Chapter 21
Introduction to Plants
Contain vascular tissue
21.3 Seedless Vascular Plants
Chapter 21
Have roots, stems, and small, scaly, leaflike structures
Vascular Tissue• Xylem
– Tissue that carries water
• Phloem– Transports solutions of
nutrients and carbs (food)
Sporophyte produces roots and a thick underground stem called a rhizome, a food-storage organ.
Introduction to Plants
The frond is part of the sporophyte generation of ferns.
21.3 Seedless Vascular Plants
Chapter 21
Introduction to Plants
Fern spores form in a structure called a sporangium.
Clusters of sporangia form a sorus.
Sori usually are located on the undersides of fronds.

21.3 Seedless Vascular Plants
Chapter 21
Diversity of Seedless Vascular Plants
Division Lycophyta Reproductive structures producespores that areclub-shaped orspike-shaped(thallose).
21.3 Seedless Vascular Plants
Introduction to Plants
Lycopodium—wolf’s claw
Chapter 21
Division Pterophyta
Introduction to Plants
Includes ferns and horsetails
Staghorn fern Hawaiian fern
Aquatic fern
Dryopteris
21.3 Seedless Vascular Plants
Chapter 21
Introduction to Plants
Seed-producing Vascular Plants
Cycadophytes
Gnetophytes
Ginkgophytes
Coniferophytes
Anthophytes
21.1 Plant Evolution and Adaptations
Chapter 21
Diversity of Seed Plants Many adaptations for the dispersal of seeds.
21.4 Vascular Seed Plants
Introduction to Plants
The sporophyte is dominant
Pine seedCocklebur
Witch hazel
Chapter 21
Division Cycadophyta
Cones contain male or female reproductive structures of cycads and other gymnosperm plants.
Introduction to Plants
Evolved before plants with flowers
The natural habitats for cycads are the tropics or subtropics.
21.4 Vascular Seed Plants
Chapter 21
Division Gnetophyta
Can live as long as 1500–2000 years
Introduction to Plants
Three genera of gnetophytes
Ephedrine is a compound found naturally in gnetophytes.
Welwitschia
21.4 Vascular Seed Plants
Chapter 21
Division Ginkgophyta
Only one living species, Ginkgo biloba
Introduction to Plants
Has small, fan-shaped leaves
Female
Male and female reproductive systems are on separate plants
Male
21.4 Vascular Seed Plants
Chapter 21
Division Coniferophyta Reproductive structures of most conifers develop
in cones.
Introduction to Plants
Male and female cones on different branches Waxlike coating called cutin reduces water loss.
Douglas fir—woody cones Juniper—berrylike cones Pacific yew—fleshy cones
21.4 Vascular Seed Plants
Chapter 21
Division Anthophyta
First appeared in the fossil record about 130 million years ago
Introduction to Plants
Botanists classify anthophytes as monocots, dicots, or eudicots.
First flowering plants (angiosperms), evolved after gymnosperms
21.4 Vascular Seed Plants
Chapter 21
A biennial plant’s life spans two years.
Perennial plants can live for several years and usually produce flowers and seeds yearly.
